Just back from a lovely day to Framlingham Castle then on to the coast in Southwold only to return to see my old maiden aunt chook Becky keeled over and stiff as a board on the lawn. She had a good innings, had her for the past 7 years and I didn't even know how old she was when I got her so she could have been a year or so older than that. She had stopped laying ages ago but was enjoying her free ranging life with her old buddy Marge who is now wandering around looking for her.

 

Oh dear - don't know what to do as we are still in a pickle over whether we are selling up in the summer or not and therefore won't know where we'll be. Poor old Bex.

[jess]

Aww poor becky, how nice she was free ranging before hand, night becky x

[Patricia W]

It sounds as though she went the way any chook would wish to go... So sad for you and the one left.

[Janty]

Poor girl.

 

[Cooks]

i'm so sorry Cloots

[Guest]

oh bless her, but like you say she had a good innings xxxx

 

selling up? after all the hard work you've done to that BEAUTIFUL house??? what a shame! Can't you turn it into a B&B, we'll be your first customers!

[Olly]

Very sad, but what better way to go than free-ranging with her pal ... sorry to hear it.

[Chickvic]

Sorry to hear about Becky

[missuscluck]

Oh no thats sad but what a way to go, doing what chooks should

[Omletina Kyckling]

Oh I'm so sorry, but it sounds as if she had a lovely long life, and died doing what she loved.

[Helly Welly]

I'm so sorry. It never gets any easier does it?

[Ain't Nobody Here]

How sad . What a lovely long chickeny life she had though .

[WitchHazel]

So sorry to hear about Bex - but what a lovely way to go! And what a fantastic age!

<> to you.

[Egluntyne]

Sorry to hear it C. What an innings though. She will leave a gap.

[clootie]

Thanks everyone. Poor old Marge on her ownio in the chicken house now. Funny, Marge was the one who was bullied terribly by all the others and was badly hurt, ironic that she's the last chook standing !! Hasn't quashed her appetite though, pecking at the back door for grapes earlier - short memory or what?

[buffie]

That is sad news, it's never easy to lose a pet.

 

I'll pop this in chickens for you

I'm so sorry Clootie to hear the sad news about Becky, what a lovely long life she had though.

[Rona]

I'm sorry to hear about Becky, poor old Marge must feel lonely without her. Or does she? Everyone said Sasha would miss George but she seems to be much happier on her own now - but maybe it is different for cats.

[chelsea]

What a shock for you, poor Becky.

 

What a good innings for a chicken though. Bless her.

[keyhole kate]

[Aggienator]

I hope I live to a ripe old age and then just keel over in the garden. What a great life you have given her, in time I hope that will be a good feeling. I am sorry for your loss.

 

Best wishes.
